Finally, why make up some capital gains fake analogy, when there are plenty of examples of Republicans doing this exact thing? Bush stopped the EPA and SEC from going after law breakers by cutting enforcement. There was no impeachment to come of that. What's the difference?

Krauthammer must have missed the Daily Show episode where John Stewart showed how out of contact is quote was. He played the rest of the quote where Obama clearly stated that he does need to allocate limited resources where they have the most impact, that is dedicating resources to illegal immigrants with a criminal record, commit crimes, ore knowingly came here illegally. It is a waste of resources to go after the kids who came here through. No fault of their own.

The President can decide how to dedicate limited resources though. He is deciding not to focus those limited resources on those who are have not broken any other laws and who were brought here by their parents through no choice of their own.

By doing this the President has rightly decided to dedicate those limited resources on criminals, people with criminal records, or those who came here knowingly breaking the law. That's all he is doing. He's dedicating resources on getting the criminal element out.

The ruling was actually that the States could NOT enforce immigration law, just turn it over to the Feds.

Also, the issue of checking someone's immigration status will show up in court real soon. The Feds had standing on how to deal with illegal immigrants, but not have on police checking status. It's all about who has standing based on their rights being violated, so this will come up again once the law in actually enforced.

The individual who is stopped, searched, or detained becuase of their immigration status is the one having standing to challenge that part of the law if their rights were violated.

I think that is what will eventually throw out the remaining 1/4th of the law.

Mr. Chuck White,
First of all, the "Fast and Furious" program didn't put guns in anyone's hands. It tracked serial numbers from sales that were suspected of going to gunrunners. Additionally, executive privilege was invoked for internal documents that were from after the program was stopped and the investigation was started. Finally, if there are more important things to deal with, how about the GOP moves on to those issues and maybe even passes the President's jobs bill?

Like anything else, the value is whatever the market will pay AT the time you SELL. The gains in housing and stocks were real for people who sold before the bubble burst. It's a lot like beanie babies!

Ever heard of Car Fax, Kelly blue book, Consumer reports, Emmons, etc.
With a used car you know what it is worth, what you should pay, how long it should last, even its specific accident and repair history.

Pope decries the "superficial glitter" of Christmas, all while wearing a gold embroidered two foot tall hat, wielding a diamond and ruby encrusted scepter, and walking around in $2000 Pravda loafers? No irony to see here... Move along now.

The pay federal taxes and get a return because they earn so little that they qualify for Ronlad Reagan's Erned income credit(EIC). They still pay federal withholds, excise taxes, gas tax, and of course all the state and local taxes. You want to go after that 10% to give the top 1% a biggere break? Why further widen the income gap? Why take food off of their tables? They are making so little already!
